NOTE: Do not configure / setup in Configurator and Terminal at the same time, you might overwrite some of your settings!
WHY? eg. if changing routes in Terminal, and changing some other settings in Configurator, when using the "update button" the settings for routes are overwritten by the preloaded
info from Configurator (as a workaround use the "refresh button" if working in Configurator)
